Unfortunately we do not work with group tours. We organize independant travels, which means that you follow your own itinerary, different from the rest.

Is it possible to have an offer for only 3 days? Arrival on Saturday 5 September, visit of Rio on Sunday 6 and return to the airport on Monday 7. Or possibly from 12 to 14 September.

Yes, we can make a tailormade version of this trip for you. You would arrive on day 1, have the Rio City Tour on day 2, and leave on day 3, correct? As for the dates, we can accommodate you whenever it's most convenient for you. Were you interested in staying in Hostel Shared Dorm, Hostel Private Room or Hotel 3*/4*?

I am not a big fan of Hostels. What is the name of the Hostel for this tour? Dose it have its own bath and shower?

base price is in Hostel dorm, you can upgrate into SGL room with private bath and shower. Or you can also upgrade into a SGL room in a 3* Hotel, if you don't fancy hostels. Hostel in Rio is Cabanacopa or Sociatel. Hotel 3* in Rio is Nacionalinn Copacabana

would you please provide me the detail for the accommodations, i.e. size of bed, shared/private bathroom, locations.

You can choose whether you'd like to stay in hostel (private or shared dorm), or you could choose a hotel (with single or double bed). As you prefer.

Is there other hotel option available?

Yes, you'll find 3*hotel option on the prices

We had a fantastic trip, even being on a bus for 31 hours added to the experience. The tours were well organised, fun to be on and good value for money, especially the white water rafting in Argentina. The hostels were basic but comfortable and had there own trips and experiences you could join which we did. The only criticism is that I wouldn't have done the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls, the Brazilian side was a far better experience and enough to see the falls and another day on the other side wasn't needed, replace it with another trip would be my advice. All in all it was a fantastic trip and great value for money. We added a 3 night stay in Manaus in the Amazon on Anaconda island before the trip started, it was a great experience too.Show more
